The cast of
the much-talked-about new Broadway musical, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the
Dark," will make their first late night talk show performance on the "Late
Show with David Letterman," Tuesday, March 1 (11:35 p.m. ET/PT), on the CBS
Television Network.

The lavish and
technically complex production, the most expensive musical in Broadway history,
is based on the Marvel Comics' character "Spider-Man," created by Stan Lee and
Steve Ditko. Featuring music and lyrics by U2's Bono and The Edge, and directed
by Tony Award winner Julie Taymor, "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" is
currently in previews at the Foxwoods Theater on Broadway, with its opening
night scheduled for March 15.

The "Late Show
with David Letterman" is a production of Worldwide Pants Incorporated. Barbara
Gaines, Matt Roberts, Jude Brennan, Maria Pope, Eric Stangel, Justin Stangel
and Rob Burnett are the executive producers.
